Hello Friends

NOVEMBER 2016

I love the cooler weather, don’t you?

PUBLISHER

Last month, we spent a lot of time outside, at Polo in the Pines (raising tens of thousands for CURE Childhood Cancer) and celebrating, at the Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities Hearts and Hands Gala. I enjoyed meeting so many of you at these events and look forward to more new friendships in the community. Remember, this magazine is about you. Your family. Your business.

Your big hearts. Your style.

We’re looking ahead to 2017 this month (can you believe it?) and have just published our new editorial calendar. I wanted to share it with you so you can think about stories that we should cover each month. Just email me with story ideas and reach out to Jim to join the collective of advertisers who make BuckHaven Lifestyle sustainable.

ancy Harris Keenan is a community builder. Literally. A Million Dollar Real Estate agent with Brookhaven’s Keller Williams Peachtree Road office, Nancy is building communities all over DeKalb County, one dream home at a time.

A natural-born entrepreneur, Nancy started her first business at the age of eight, selling her hair accessories and jewelry creations to local boutiques. A fine art graduate, Nancy started out after college in graphic design, and then transitioned to painting murals and portraits. At age 27, she opened a very successful retail home store and then decided to get a degree.

Being in all those homes, Nancy realized she wanted to sell houses, so in 2007 she became a realtor. Since then, she has doubled her 20

business every single year--even during the recession. She quickly realized that a lot of the homes she was selling weren’t built for her clients’ lifestyles and lacked the design details they wanted. So this award-winning realtor got her builder's license and is developing neighborhoods across Atlanta.

Keenan’s unique skill set--artist, designer, realtor and builder--translates to beauty and function in the construction of her dream homes. Her Harris Park homes, listed in the high-400's, get the attention to detail that you see in million dollar homes. Mosaic tile, judges paneling, shiplap, designer fixtures, framed mirrors and even towel racks.

She loves everything about the building process, even demolition, which has earned her the nickname Demolition Princess. From dirt

to dreams, she works in a male-dominated building industry that is perplexed by this bubbly, confident blonde in work boots. She can get a sewer built where there once was a septic system and has earned the respect of her bevy of sub-contractors because she's a pro.

Somehow, Nancy also finds time to do custom homes, renovations and flips, and the concept development for her husband Sean's four restaurants (Front Page News, Tijuana Garage, Napoleon’s and the brand new Vista Room, a special events and live music venue).

This hands-on mother of two takes her kids Norrie and Harry to school every day, then to guitar lessons and gymnastics. And like most busy people, Nancy dedicates time and resources to her favorite charity, EDIN--The Eating Disorder Information Network. She organizes her own Team Norrie every year for EDIN’s Merrick’s

Walk, to honor her daughter’s continuing recovery from a rare eating disorder. She even took to the stage this year at the EDIN Celebrity Dance Challenge, where she wowed the crowd with a Marilyn Monroe-esque burlesque number.

Nancy loves to workout at Dance 101 and Brookhaven’s new InterFusion Fitness, and spend weekends--between house showings--with her family and three dogs. Their favorite Brookhaven restaurants are Valenza for date night, Lucky’s Burger & Brew (where they can bring the pups) and Terra Terroir. Her passion, if you haven’t already figured it out, is building dreams.

f LaVelle Olexa could have brought her New York City apartment with her to Atlanta, she would have. Instead, with the help of Coldwell Bank realtor Lucas Carter, she found an airy Peachtree Street penthouse and created a stunning new home. It wasn’t terribly challenging. She and her husband Ken Greenfield filled the 3,200 square foot apartment with her favorite art and antiques collected from travels in Paris and Hong Kong, precious family keepsakes and beloved books. They have long believed that surrounding themselves with things that have meaning make a home comfortable. And beautiful.

MEET LUCAS CARTER I have now been in Atlanta nearly 5 years. I was surprised by the city in many ways when I arrived. Most of all how welcoming everyone was. I immediately felt at home. I have met some of the most genuine and interesting people. It's been an absolute pleasure to represent many friends and neighbors in real estate transactions. They are incredibly supportive of my business.

As a result, in my first year as an agent I was awarded Coldwell Bankers Rookie of the Year Award company- wide! I am very grateful that in the years since, the business has steadily grown.

My office is located on West Paces Ferry and Peachtree Rd in Buckhead.

The location is absolutely fantastic and it allows me to be right in the middle of the markets I serve the most often. I take great pride in working with buyers and sellers of all price ranges. This has provided me with business from one end of Metro Atlanta to another. One of my favorite aspects of the job is to list unique and extraordinary properties. Each one takes a custom marketing plan.

I was a musician before I became a realtor. Performing and teaching are dear to my heart. Real Estate has allowed me to continue to share those passions with my clients. I'm honored that they need me to guide them through the process. I like to tell people unfortunately I couldn't make everyone love music but EVERYONE needs a house!

HEAVEN ON PEACHTREE (CON TI N U ED)

“Our goal was to find a property that was exciting yet elegant.

When I first saw this penthouse I knew LaVelle would turn it into a jewel box,” Carter said.

Before moving in, they reconfigured the floor plan, opening the kitchen, laying bright wood floors and even recreating an open staircase like the one in their New York apartment.

With two terraces, west and south-facing, the floor to ceiling windows flood the two-story living room with light most the day. The 24th floor perch offers stunning sunset views over south Buckhead and downtown, the thick treetops offering a lush carpet below. “I love the sunsets here,” LaVelle said. “In New York, we were on the fourth floor and, while I love New York, we just didn’t have these sunsets.” After 30 years in fashion merchandising and public relations in the New York fashion industry, she now enjoys working with her non-profit.

Founded in 2009, LaVelle & Co. is a Manhattan based collective that encourages women to harness their power, find their passion and achieve their greatest potential. With goals to create empowering reciprocal relationships between young professionals and prominent business women, LaVelle and her team work to preserve the art of face to face communication in a mass media driven world by organizing events that promote sharing and support among professional women. She wants to imbue each member with the knowledge and confidence to become a force in this world. LaVelle is already making connections here in BuckHaven for an Atlanta chapter.

our home is all about you – your style and personality make it unique. From hand painted plates for dinner parties to that one of a kind sculpture you brought back from South America, your home should scream you from the moment visitors walk through the door.

Most people, however, have trouble with art. Blank walls can be intimidating, and choosing something to go on them can be daunting. How do you choose the right piece of art for their dining room? Where can you purchase a piece of art that you won’t see on all your friend’s walls? Brookhaven resident and gallery manager Brenda Fannin, gallery manager for Carré d’artistes in Phipps Plaza, has plenty of tips for choosing the perfect piece of art.

26

BuckHavenLifestyle.com | November 2016

or Life CONSIDER THE FEELING

You buy art not only for the way it will look on the wall but also because it makes you feel something in your heart. At Carré d’artistes, each artist offers something different, something that can inspire everyone. “Each piece if a unique representation of the person who creates it and who displays it,” Brenda explains.

FIND SOMETHING UNIQUE

The problem with buying mass produced art is there's a good chance you’ll see the same piece in someone else's house. It’s important to find something unique. “All of Carre’s art pieces are certified and signed, insuring that they are one of a kind,” Brenda says.

KEEP APPRECIATION POTENTIAL IN MIND

Carré d’artistes Atlanta operates on a differently than most art galleries do. “Artists within the Carré d’artistes network are shown internationally, which earns them extreme exposure to diverse art audiences,” Brenda explains. “This is great news for buyers, knowing that their works of art have the potential to appreciate worldwide over the years.” Most galleries feature a few artists that specialize in a certain area of the country; their art will never be seen in other parts of the United States, much less the rest of the world. But with exposure comes recognition and appreciation, which is something to keep in mind should you plan to pass down your art pieces to future generations.

BUY LOCAL

The trend of buying locally has been going strong for a few years, and Carré d’artistes is no exception.

Supporting your neighbors in their artistic endeavors is important, and the gallery has hand-selected numerous Atlanta artists because of the influence they have on the city of Atlanta, with the goal of helping spread their names and stories to a wider audience.

HAVE FUN!

“Creating your own art collection is an exciting process, and there is no cookie-cutter way to do this,” Brenda says. “Purchase pieces that inspire you and will improve your personal space, or choose pieces that demand attention and are perfect conversation starters.” There are no rules; do what makes you feel happy!

Atlanta has consistently been a burgeoning culinary epicenter of the Southeast, justifying its numerous Kitchen Design winners over the years. One of the evening’s attendees—renowned millwork and space designer Jane Hollman from Studio Entourage on Old Ivy Rd—happily emphasized the benefits of entering the contest along with some invaluable strategies that assisted in her success to more than 80 attendees.

“It’s pretty amazing to have this much design throughout Atlanta,” Sub-Zero Vice President of Sales Georgia Division Rob Maxam shared while hosting the gathering.

“With all of this talent in one place, Atlanta has had two national winners in the last five contests and I suspect we may have another one to congratulate very soon.”

Adding to the festivities, world-acclaimed chef and restauranteur Kevin

Gillespie provided his culinary expertise with an entertaining on-site cooking demonstration using Sub-Zero’s appliances to create savory bites for the engaged audience. A proud native Atlantan and graduate of the Atlanta Institute of Art, Gillespie owns nationally acclaimed eateries Gunshow and Revival, while participating in numerous food initiatives throughout the city and further solidifying Atlanta’s reputation in the food industry.

Ultimately, while Sub-Zero and Wolf continues to be the leader of kitchen innovation, they will also remain dedicated to honor those who share the same passion through their Kitchen Design Contest.

Sub-Zero and Wolf Southeast is located at 3280 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 200.

CADILLAC 2016 CT6 PREMIUM LUXURY AWD SIZE AND LUXURY MATTER ONCE AGAIN ARTICLE DENNIS MALCOLM BYRON | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

W

ith more than a century representing the American auto scene as its most extravagant carmaker, Cadillac’s all-new 2016 CT6 has seamlessly applied state-ofthe-art technology into the sleek physique of a large luxury sedan—a revisited body type that once dominated its fleets decades ago.

The head-turning CT6 is nothing short of its full-size classification and generously 34

BuckHavenLifestyle.com | November 2016

spacious, yet boasts remarkable agility to separate itself from competitors due to its lower body’s lightweight, 13 high-pressure aluminum castings; state-of-the-art Active Chassis System, all-wheel drive maneuverability. Available in three different engine options, our welcomed 335-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 heart provided the necessary muscle for aggressive lane changing and

power surges when needed. The 360-degree camera view based on the signature CUE screen, wireless phone charging port, an OnStar 4G LTE system complete with a Wi-Fi hotspot, a Quadzone climate system, plus an HDMI and USB port for rear passengers were just a few of the amenities to emphatically warrant the “luxury” claim.

At a base price of $63,570, this review

model was enhanced by numerous upgrades including the Driver Assist Package (adaptive cruise control, enhanced night vision for $4,380); concert-rivaling BOSE PanarayÂŽ 34-speaker sound system exclusively made for the CT6 ($3,700); an Active Chassis Package featuring magnetic ride control and glistening 20-inch aluminum wheels ($3,300); Comfort Package for premium, temperature-controlled seating throughout the cabin ($900); and special, stealthy Dark Adriatic Blue Metallic exterior ($995) completed this yacht on wheels.

In a market that has recently been dominated by foreign luxury brands, Cadillac boldly kicks in the door it once exited to reclaim its regal status.

BASE PRICE: $63,570; As reviewedÂ

Review model with all options and fees, $77,340 GAS MILEAGE: 18 city/27 highway/22 combined

Parting Thoughts

ARTICLE MOLLY S. COLLINS

I

n 2005, the Sparling family decided that a suitable location for our Thanksgiving festivities would be the Monkey Bar in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a dimly lit private club on the edge of Main Street. They transformed the place, where a combined playlist of Motown, 70s and 80s hits and an occasional piano ballad recorded by my late maternal grandfather played softly. The table was surrounded by not only my mother’s brothers and sisters but a few lonely hearts that my relatives adopted into our family. It was less of a stereotypical forced family holiday gathering, and more of a rambunctious party.

I remember, against my better judgement, trespassing to a section of the restaurant that my mother told us not to go to and finding a swing hanging there. All too enticing. My brother, Patty, who was 5, fearlessly trekked over to the swing and hopped on. He basked in the glory of having the entire gathering marvel in his “cuteness.”

They smiled at him in his little Gapkids button up shirt as he giggled, swinging to and fro. I stood there watching, too scared to get on, fearing my mother’s loving wrath (which never actually came).

As if finding a forbidden swing wasn’t enough fun, one of my many musically inclined uncles picked up a guitar and started playing a song that only a more youthful version of myself could comprehend and remember. As I reminisce, I think it was one of the first times I experienced live music. I now envy how he played so effortlessly and yet so passionately, finger picking rapidly a melody that he had likely made up seconds before his worn, calloused fingers hit the strings.

The meal, though the haziest of the memory, was a blend of both vegetarian and traditional, due to the meatless nature of my family. I distinctly remember carrying a pan of luke-warm roast potatoes into the eatery (the potluck was cooked in home kitchens, ferried to the Monkey Bar) and seeing it later, a part of the spread my family devoured. My sister (who was nearly 14) sat next to me at the long table, formed from many bar tables that were earlier scooted together. Her face had an expression of someone who was peering at a wound of some sort, as a plate of colorless tofurky was passed clockwise our way. Though I did not want to partake in the vegetarian meal, and I snarled at my mother who took a small piece off her plate and placed it onto mine, deciding that it was my turn to try it.

Though the Monkey Bar is now closed, and was likely far less glamorous than my young mind once thought it was, it will remain as one of my most precious family memories, serving as a reminder of how much I truly adore my adaptable, boisterous and audacious family.
